I adore Nino/anyone in Arashi, honestly. Not even kidding, pick any of the other four and I'll adore it. Any interactions with other groups, especially Kanjani8, NEWS, Johnnys West and TOKIO are very welcome.

Supporting cast and Nino/lady friendships I adore: Kitagawa Keiko (esp Keiko/Daigo), Becky, Toda Erika, Naka Riisa, Perfume, Anne, Mizuhara Kiko, Haru, Mitsushima Hikari.

Prompts: Genres, situations, storylines, kinks, etc. I would like to receive:
I'm equally enamoured of both AU and non-AU fics, either is good! Backstage at concerts and behind the scenes of tv filming, slice-of-life moments, "getting together" fics, Nino learning a new skill (e.g. cooking, ikebana, whatever, especially if another member of the band is teaching him). Cowboy Bebop/any kind of bounty hunting AU. I love arts-based AUs. Think classical musicians, staging a play or a musical (struggling actor!Nino!), visual artists (this would be great for Ohmiya - Nino the prickly gallery owner who is won over by artist Ohno~). Carnival/travelling fair AU. General day-to-day life AUs - working in an out-of-the-way council office, kindergarten teachers, fortune telling, real estate salesman, checkout operator - especially if any of this is combined with magical realism/folklore (China Mieville/Neil Gaiman/Cat Valente-esque). I also enjoy historical AUs - any period of Japanese history works great, but especially Meiji or Heian. Final Fantasy 7/8/9/10/12 crossovers are also EXTREMELY welcome.

I'd definitely prefer a happy ending, but happy to have angst in the middle!

I'm a-ok with sex. Hurt/comfort, romance (bonus for awkward romance). I love it when a seemingly random action sets off a chain of events leading to romance/sex. Power struggles, conflict, small actions ramping up, heartwarming cuteness, texts/emails/letters.

some fun AU prompts (shamelessly nicked from tumblr, additions to those listed above):

- “we are neighbours and every night at 3:14 am you start yodeling for no fucking reason??? why???? is that you yodeling??? its been 2 months???” au
- 'we accidentally cosplaying the corresponding parts of our otp at convention and now people are assuming we're dating' au
- 'we're both in the library and i'm trying to study but you're just making paper airplanes out of your notes and throwing them at me could you please maybe stop' au
- rival ice cream trucks au

Prompts: Genres, situations, storylines, kinks, etc. I WOULD NOT like to receive: No rape/noncon/dubcon or underage malarkey. No character deaths or infidelity, cheating etc. Unending angst with an unhappy ending. No horror/gore.

I would like to write (pairings/friendships and prompts): I'll write any Nino/Arashi pairing! Anything in my want-to-receive list. Heartwarming romance is my specialty :D
I WILL NOT write (pairings/friendships and prompts): Basically everything in my Would Not Like To Receive. In terms of prompts, I'm not great at sci-fi or action/adventure-y fics. I don't have enough of a grasp on group dynamics for non Arashi pairings.
Rating preference (written and received): PG - NC-17

I can beta! (Y/N) Sure!
I can pinch hit! (Y/N) Nope.
